The politics of the centre are no match for the challenges that face humanity. We do, it seems, face a choice between socialism or barbarism.

Il existe donc des solutions, mais le gouvernement revient à la charge avec une politique d’austérité dont l’échec est pourtant documenté depuis des décennies.

There are easy solutions for the government to both raise revenue and rein in spending in a way that is fair and beneficial for Canadians, and that doesn’t compromise services.

With Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government still a few seats short of a majority government, working-class Canadians should start asking NDP leadership candidates how they would wield the balance of power.

Mark Carney has become the new political face of an ideological orientation that shares his western-Canadian background, but none of his partisan identifications.

Canadian progressives need to hold fast against a Carney government propped up by approval ratings that reflect the public sentiment that “things could be worse” as they become increasingly worse.

Progressive governments in the Global South should show Canadians how to build a vision for a good society, where transformation for the wellbeing of all Canadians is the goal.

Amid this nationalist fervour is a desire to protect Canadian institutions such as public healthcare – a profoundly distinct and equalizing system that has insulated the Canadian working-class from the affordability experiences of Americans.
